Durlov Kumar Boruah is owner of the brand "Emon Hatchery" and released his video on FTB. He talks about how he manages his brand and the various tasks they perform. He started this brand 10 years ago. He aimed to work towards resolving farming issues and protect the environment. 

They provide chicken at reasonable price and offer hatching services. They even buy eggs which they hatch themselves. They believe in sustainable ecosystem. There are some common issues that all hatcheries and poultry farmers face. If you are not able to manage your business properly, it is because you are lacking knowledge, technology, experience and skills. Training courses and certification can help you with this. 

Another issue is diagnosis of diseases in livestock. The sooner you detect what your poultry is suffering from the better are your chances of saving them. They have software which can help you in diagnosis. You mention the type of animals that are suffering, the age, mortality, facial appearance and other details that are the symptoms that your flock is suffering from, in the software. In response, after analysis of the data, you get the disease your flock is suffering from, what is the reason for the disease and cure. This diagnosis facility is available on their website and for all animal husbandry animals but access is limited to members. If you have unhealthy birds or animals, you can contact Emon Hatchery for help. They also provide emergency services within 24 hours. They also provide  counseling services apart from diagnosis services.

Third issue that all poultry farmers face is availability of market or lack of access to it. Sometimes you are ready with your product but there is no one to sell to, that can be very disappointing. As an organization, Emon, plans to provide a platform for these farmers to sell their products which will be mutually beneficial for the farmers and the company. Emon provides farmers with greater access to bigger markets.

Fourth issue is waste management. They provide knowledge, skills and technology to the farmers to manage their poultry waste. Waste management and value addition of Products go hand in hand, and will give you sustainable income. You will be able to generate income through waste management by reuse of the waste.

Next issue you may face is food adulteration. Sometimes you may order something and get something else. Food adulteration can involve change in colour of what you buy. It is dangerous and can cause diseases like diabetes and cancer. Sometimes the meat you are served is of a sick animal which can lead to you getting sick. You should be careful about these purchases and buy certified products. In some cases chemicals are used for storage of food items which can be dangerous for your health. Impure food is adulterated food. As a farmer it's our responsibility to provide pure and clean food to consumers.

Something that Emon Hatchery believes in is gender equality in employment. They as responsible members of the society believe in tackling unemployment and malnutrition. They believe that all members of the society should have sustainable income source, which will only happen by giving back to the society and environment some part of what you earn. The company believes in assisting the society as much as they can in tackling these problems. The company sees agriculture as a source of income to remove unemployment and bring gender equality in the society. We can help in removing unemployment by giving training in poultry farming to unemployed youth and they can start their own poultry farms or hatcheries. For malnutrition we provide minerals, vitamin and protein rich food and that too at affordable prices. Our products are healthy and complete food.

The business models that they follow at Emon Hatchery are B2B (Business to Business) and B2C (Business to Customer). These two combine to form their complete business cycle. They start with procuring poultry eggs from a Business, as a Business (B2B). They process these eggs into birds ready for selling. These birds are sold by this Business to Customers (B2C).

The breeds of birds they supply are: Broiler Chicks, Emu Chicks, Guinea Fowl Chicks, Local Chicken Chicks, Pati Duck, Quail Chicks, RIR Chicks and Turkey Chicks. 

They have a number of schemes for their customers and people willing to work with them. These are IBA (Independent business associate), Hire & Purchase scheme, Debitor-Creditor scheme and Krishak-Bandhu scheme.

IBA gives our associates opportunity for higher income and commission. Once you become a member, depending on how you work, you membership can be renewed and you can even become lifetime member. Hire & Purchase scheme can be implemented with low investment in terms of time and money. You will be trained with excellent support and will learn to minimize errors.
